Great list... although, looking at it, some of these series feel like they were just released yesterday and we were watching them in my high school anime club (01-04).... it just hasn't hit me that I'm getting old, I guess.

Really close to con but let's slide Robot Carnival in there this year if possible! The Japanese R2 anniversary DVD release actually included the old English Streamline dub for "Presence" and "A Tale of Two Robots - Chapter Three: Foreign Invasion" and the transfer is pretty damn stunning. The usual places online have it for download, or break out your original disc if you were fortunate enough to scrounge up a copy - and pay out the nose for it like I did.

Nostalgia room is one of my favorite parts of 'con - especially due the volunteer that was staffing the Nostalgia Room on Saturday morning last year (during VOTOMs and Patlabor) as he was awesome! Very cool to talk with about old school anime, offered to turn the volume up if the bass from the marathon room was overpowering through the wall (which it wasn't), came over and apologized after a technical issue getting Patlabor to play; he was just an incredible person and one of the best staffers I have ever met at any convention. I believe he was also staffing later during Fatal Fury 2 and Iria: Zeriam the Animation. He also ran the dub tracks where available which is a big part of Anime nostalgia to a lot of us.

The Discotek release is essentially the R2 release, including the nostalgic Streamline dub for those two shorts.

I think it's cool when the Nostalgia Room runs titles that have been out of print for a long time but have recently re-released or are slated for re-release (or first release) soon. Cat's Eye last year is a good example of this as was Cutey Honey and Mazinger Z two years ago.

For something fansubbed to toss into the mix, how about Armor Hunter Mellowlink? Armored Troopers VOTOMS has been featured in the Nostalgia Room and Mellowlink is an outstanding stand alone prequel (timeline wise) set in the same universe.
